My personal account of 2011. The games I played (both new and old,) and my thoughts on the year's events.

In the biggest RPG month of 2010, (30) Days of RPGs takes a look at Fable 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light, and more.

I look at the much-delayed, little-known effort to restore and fix the cut content of Star Wars: KOTOR 2 by reviewing the history of the modders' attempts to do so and discussing why it might still be relevant to gamers.

A venerable developer's newest IP, a sequel to a genre-mashup sensation, and yet another NIS game headline this month's RPG selections.

News Blips for September 30, 2009. A sequel to DJ Hero is already underway, Nintendo is picky about letting gamers transfer DSi games to a new system, 73% of Brits play games, and more.

I wasn't shocked by much at this year's E3. Spaz-happy Microsoft motion-controller sans, uh, controller? 'Bout as exciting as seeing an Avatar's shoe. Hanna Montana PSP bundle? So 2007. Wii Vitality Sensor? Beep...Beep...Beeeeeeeeeeeeeep... But amidst all these ho-hum announcements, something actually did make me do a Don Mattrick triple take: Sega's spy-themed third-person shooter role-playing game Alpha Protocol. Phew -- that's a long descriptor. And though it sounds like a Katamari-covered mismash of popular genres, it surprisingly works. Which is why I came out of my demo wondering why I never cared about this game previously. Easy: I needed valuable first-hand intel.
